This land owner was worried that washout would cause the cement to crack which was holding his irrigation well. If this were to happen, his irrigation well would collapse which could floor his field. Unsure of how to fix this before damage was done, he decided to give us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Brian Keller to inspect the cement pad and determine where the cracking had a chance to form. Brian found that the recently poured slab was not properly compacted, resulting in a large amount of washout and an exposed void under the slab. After seeing this issue, Brian went to discuss how to solve this with the landowner, and they scheduled an installation appointment. Our installation crew came out to this field and utilized PolyLevel foam to fill the void and stabilize the cement pad. After the property owner saw the final project, he was satisfied with the work that was done as well as confident that his cement would be permanently stabilized. Check out the stabilized cement!
This homeowner was worried about his concrete stairs and driveway sinking. He wanted the problem fixed but didn't want to have to replace the concrete. Luckily, he didn't have to! We lifted the sinking concrete with PolyLevel expanding foam and sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro.
Juanita was concerned about the garage approach settlement that created a rough entry and exit of the garage.
We sent System Design Specialist AJ Lavoie out to the home to provide a free inspection and explain how our solution would solve this issue. We used PolyLevel Foam to lift and level the concrete and Nexus Pro Joint Sealant to seal the joints and cracks to prevent water from creating future problems.
David M. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and was concerned with a small section of his driveway concrete that borders the garage. The section had settled over time and cracked in places that allowed water to seep underneath towards his foundation. David was familiar with Thrasher’s extensive reputation, and in order to find a permanent solution he gave us a call.
To begin the project, System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to perform a full inspection on the problematic section of concrete. AJ determined that the downspout right next to the driveway was dumping water towards the foundation and washing out the soil underneath. This created large voids and allowed for the concrete to settle and crack. David opted to have Thrasher install our 2-Part Concrete Protection System that consists of PolyLevel foam and NexusPro sealer. PolyLevel is installed first by injecting it underneath to the fill the voids in order to lift and level the concrete permanently. NexusPro is then applied to all cracks and control joints to prevent water from entering through the surface. To finish the project, our team buried the downspout that was the root cause of the sunken concrete to guarantee David doesn’t have to detail with concrete problems in the future.
David couldn’t have been more impressed with the project. We were able to restore his peace of mind and provide him with the permanent solution his concrete needed. He was impressed with our crews display of professionalism and efficiency throughout the project.
Cindy A. is a homeowner in Hutchinson, KS and has dealt with water issues in the basement for a majority of the 35 years she’s lived there. Lately, she’s been considering selling the home and wants to ensure it would bring maximum value, but with the wet basement she wasn’t sure it would sell. Based on our reputation and recommendations from her loved ones, she chose Thrasher to come waterproof her wet basement.
To begin the basement waterproofing project, System Design Specialist Robert Griffin arrived at the home in Hutchinson, KS to inspect the problems at hand. Robert concluded that the foundation had been allowing water and moisture in due to the lack of an exterior footing drain. The home was built in the 1970s and was originally constructed without one. This caused the walls to crack and begin to bow inward. To guarantee the basement stays dry permanently, Cindy had our teams install a combination of our waterproofing products. We began by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system and CleanSpace waterproof barrier around the full perimeter of the basement. Then, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed to drain the water effectively outside. To conclude the project, our team buried the downspouts on the exterior of the home to prevent any water from building up against the foundation walls.
Cindy was not only thrilled with the outcome, but she was relieved to have her basement restored to a dry and safe environment once again. Thrasher was able to help Cindy regain her peace of mind and give her the confidence she needs by increasing her home’s value.
